Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-15 00:00:00 Margaret Hopkins An engaging collection of high quality, literary true survival tales from mountaineering's most famous and infamous incidents and characters. The tales of failures in mountaineering's history may reflect more about the reasons why people climb mountains, take risks, and behave as one finds in the traditional tales of mountaineering's successes. Drawing mostly on the classic tales of conquering the 8,000 meter peaks between the World Wars and just post World War Two, the majority of the stories are a journey into harrowing survival stories of near death and death, sometimes after being just a few hundred feet shy of a successful summit. This is an OUTSTANDING mountaineering anthology.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-17 00:00:00 Dave Loanghand Fascinating. Short stories of what happens after everything has gone to hell - after all hope of success, even of survival is lost.
